Chapter 5 The Emperor - Li Xian

Li Xian is twenty-seven years old this year, and he ascended the throne at the same age as Emperor Taizong. Logically speaking, the emperor who successfully ascended the throne at such an age should have been full of energy and power.

Unfortunately, his father not only left behind a photo of his father and allowed the empress dowager to handle important military affairs on behalf of the emperor, but also left him a group of "helpful ministers" who changed their minds. The most representative of them was the prime minister Pei Yan.

The ancients said that if a filial son in a family cannot defeat his family, and if a loyal minister in a country cannot destroy his country, this is nothing wrong. After becoming the emperor, Li Xian had a deep understanding of this sentence. He had neither a virtuous wife nor a good minister, and he was a lonely man.

When his father was there, the prince could not interfere in government affairs. When his father was away, he, the new emperor, could not interfere in government affairs. I don’t know who invented the word “child emperor”, but in Li Xian’s heart, he had a deep understanding of this word.

What's even more annoying is that the Empress Wei, who was making trouble with the old story of the court's "discussion on personal issues" and "dedication of honor to the queen clan". Now, the civil and military officials in and outside the palace were watching the jokes of me, the emperor.

People are content, tactfulness, and sensibility, but Wei does not take any of these three things. Promoting his father Wei Xuanzhen from Puzhou to the governor of Yuzhou is the greatest limit for him, the emperor who doesn't count on anything.

Now that I want to be a servant again, this is not something that can be summarized by the four words "forced people to make things difficult". They are trying their best to force me and my mother to turn against each other! Isn't it crazy to want to return to Li Yijiu, who is the heart of the world to force the empress dowager to give up power?

In order to avoid Wei's endless questioning, Li Xian said he wanted to read a book and planned to purify his ears. Otherwise, he would be pressed against the empress dowager on top, against the queen below, and with ministers in the middle, so that his fat body would have to be made into soup sooner or later.

Thinking about the ninth year of Wude, Emperor Taizong used his strength to break the deadlock and set his position at his age, and then led his ministers to create the Zhenguan prosperous era that was no less than the "March of Wen and Jing". What a heroic spirit that was.

But as for me, I cannot safeguard the country in my country and I cannot stabilize the country. I am useless except for a fat body. If my ancestors knew that their descendants were so unworthy, I wonder if they would crawl out of Zhaoling and strangle themselves to death.

When he first entered the Eastern Palace, Li Zhong, Li Hong and Li Xian had lived in the Eastern Palace before him, but they all thought that all kinds of reasons had finished playing, so when it was his turn to the throne, Li Xian was extremely excited and wanted to prove to his parents that he was their best son.

But just when he had some achievements and wanted to go to his parents to ask for praise, when he came outside the hall, he heard the evaluation of the two saints about him. His father believed that although he was not as outstanding as his two legitimate brothers, he was able to be kind-hearted and purely filial, and being a lord of the city was also a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

However, the queen mother thought that she was mediocre in her qualifications and was timid but not as decisive as Li Dan and had no emperor's aura. Such a person was a blessing for the royal family, but if she forced him to the throne, she would sooner or later harm the country because of his kindness.

The queen mother was a very strong woman. If she didn't allow her to say that she was questioned by anyone, so she also listed to her father how many timid and cowardly she had done since childhood and was not happy with. If it weren't for the position of the prince's son, she would probably want her father to depose her as a prince.

After hearing these words, Li Xian's heart was cold. He was born in an imperial family and was born as a legitimate son. To say that Li Xian had never had the ambition to sit in this position, it was absolutely false. Anyone with blood will have a fight.

But so what if I get it? My father and mother turned a blind eye to their efforts and didn't believe that I could be a good prince or even a good emperor.

In their opinion, both brother and brother are better than them. If they hadn't been born two years ago, this position would not have been such a "royal waste". After tearing the chapter in his hand, Li Xian lowered his head and returned to the East Palace, and was seriously ill.

If Wei hadn't been careful to take care of him, he would have become the shortest-ranking crown prince in the founding history of the Tang Dynasty. So since then, Li Xian felt that he owed Wei a life, and gave in to her everywhere, allowing him to gradually develop an arrogant and domineering temper.

Since then, Li Xian has become more cautious in everything, for fear that he would accidentally be deposed by his mother. When he entered the Eastern Palace, he was not like being a vassal king. When he arrived here, he was like going to Mount Hua, and there was no way out. No matter who replaced the Eastern Palace, he would not let him go, the former prince.

Although he successfully inherited the throne now, many years of hiding his strengths and maintaining a low-key situation have allowed him to train any decent ministers. The ones he uses are either the confidants of the empress dowager or the incompetent waste. He just wants to get back his own power from his mother, and what capital does he have to talk to others about it!

Regarding the so-called power of Wei and his father Wei Xuanzhen, who robbed the emperor with a tough attitude, Li Xian only had two words of comment: stupidity. The queen mother had experienced too many storms in her life. From a down-and-out nobleman to a current queen mother, how could a small "criminal" collection make her easily give up the power she had finally obtained.

During the decades that led to the throne of the empress dowager, the mother queen overcomes all obstacles and defeats powerful enemies such as Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc., forged a pair of iron-clad hard bones, which can be compared with Wei and Wei Xuanzhen.

My mother is better than my son. Although she doesn't like her much, Li Xian still knows her mother, which really violates her bottom line. That night, Jingzhao Wei's family would have suffered a devastating blow like the Wang family in Taiyuan back then, and this was just a matter of her hooking up.

Leaving Wei in the harem tonight also means warning her. The power of heaven is unpredictable. Don’t rely on being the queen to act recklessly. The Wei family cannot become the Changsun family. Her father Wei Xuanzhen is not as capable as Changsun Wuji, and she is destined to be unable to fight her mother, so she should wake up and return to Yuzhou to be the governor.
